Scandal Scarf

The weekend before last I knitted up my Scandal Scarf. Why would I do such a thing when I haven't finished knitting my orangey goodness? Because all the stitches had slipped off my needles and I was too tired to sort it out properly!! Picking up stitches with feathers wool is a nightmare. I've sorted it out now, finished that side and knitted an entire sleeve since. I'm on the last sleeve of the jacket now. I also picked up a tip from Cast-on to use an elastrator ring on the ends of your needles to stop this happening again. Given that we're a "farming family" that was a very inexpensive and easy solution. Can't think why I hadn't thought of it sooner.

Back to the scarf.

Boo, Puckers & the Scandal Scarf

Here are Puckers (the pig) and Boo (the kitten) helping model the scarf for me. Puckers' neck is a good deal fatter than mine so the scarf looks a bit longer on me.
Yarn: Panda Scandal Col 48, 100% Polyester, 46m

Needles: 7mm

It was just 20sts and 2 balls worth of stocking stitch. Done!
